Robust Articulated-ICP for Real-Time Hand Tracking

Disclaimer

To obtain the results shown in the video (or as seen in the live demo sessions at SGP'15) proper hardware is necessary:

  • Ubuntu 14.04 (on windows/osx the OS interferes with GPU on Compute/Graphics context switches)
  • Intel Core i7 @4GhZ
  • CUDA Graphic card (NVIDIA GTX980 used in our demo)
  • Senz3D depth camera (SENSOR_DEPTHSENSEGRABBER, use SoftKinetic or Intel/Creative)

Other notes:

  • note the software must be compiled in 64bits!
  • Wristband color calibration (make sure the wristband is detected robustly otherwise the tracking might not perform as effectively, you can check this by enabling "show wband" in the htrack_atb application)
